Beautiful!

 

I'm looking for the kit, can't seem to find it.  Is that a modification of a military dozer?

I remember one of those (Cat D-7) grading my parents lot for their first house. I remember AMT did a large scale D-8 with a ripper blade in back and a plow plade in front. The D-8 was much easier to operate. I think Cat is up to a D-12 or 13 now. Anyone? If only they had wings!!!

Very nice build. Looks like it's supposed to, a very much used piece of equipment.Toast

VERY NICE!!!!!!
The weathering is great!
I made the US Army dozer version....probably THE best fitting kit I've EVER seen!
Coupla things did my head in...like 980 sprue attachment points to clean up for the tracks!!!
But if you're careful, they roll just like the real deal.
Then I decided to drill out the round holes in the radiator ballistic guard....just a tetch UNDER 1000 holes! Stoopid stoopid stoopid....but it looks awesome.
YOU....really knocked that outta the park, mate! Nicely done.

Cheers, LeeTree
